Angel investors share a passion for entrepreneurs, great ideas, disruptive technologies, and the creativity that comes with hard work driving towards success.
Angel Investors come from all industries and walks of life, but they share some common qualities in addition to the pursuit of healthy returns:
Enjoy taking a role in the entrepreneurial process and acting as mentors to entrepreneurs
Invest their own money regionally and in relatively smaller amounts per investment than do venture capitalist firms
Maintain a diversified portfolio and take a long-term view of their investments
Are committed to the long-term success of their portfolio companies and wish to remain involved to the extent that they can contribute to the company’s success
Enjoy working with other intelligent angel investors to cooperatively vet deals, negotiate terms, and provide value as investors.
